FAQs
What is the range of the TQ 360Wh battery?
The range is highly dependent on terrain, rider weight, assist level, and rider input. Trek estimates ranges can vary significantly, but the system is designed for extended adventures. Refer to the TQ e-bike app for more specific range estimations based on your riding profile.
How do I charge the TQ battery?
The TQ 360Wh battery can be charged while installed on the bike or when removed. Use the specific TQ charger provided with the bike. Connect the charger to the battery's charging port and plug it into a standard electrical outlet.
What is the difference between TQ-HPR60 motor and other e-bike motors?
The TQ-HPR60 motor is known for its compact size, quiet operation, and natural-feeling power delivery, integrating smoothly into the frame for a cleaner aesthetic and better weight balance compared to some larger, bulkier systems.
Can I use a different brand of wireless drivetrain with this bike?
The bike is specifically designed for SRAM's AXS E1 and T-Type components. While some cross-compatibility may exist within SRAM AXS, using other brands or non-T-Type components is not recommended and may void warranties or affect performance.
What is the maximum tire clearance on this frame?
The frame is designed to accommodate up to 700x42mm tires, as fitted. While some variations exist, it's recommended to stick within manufacturer-specified limits for optimal performance and clearance, especially with fenders installed.
How do I perform firmware updates for the SRAM AXS system?
Firmware updates are managed through the SRAM AXS mobile app. Ensure your bike's AXS components are paired with the app, and you will be notified of available updates. Follow the in-app instructions to complete the updates.
Does the bike come with a charger?
Yes, the bike comes with the necessary TQ charger for the 360Wh battery.
Troubleshooting
TQ motor not providing assist
Check that the battery is securely installed and charged. Ensure the system is turned on via the LED display. Verify that the speed sensor is properly aligned and functioning. Check the TQ app for any system error messages.
SRAM AXS shifting issues (slow, inaccurate)
Ensure the AXS battery in the derailleur is charged. Re-pair the derailleur with the shifter via the AXS app. Check for any obstructions in the derailleur's movement. Ensure the T-Type chain and cassette are clean and properly lubricated.
TQ display not showing information
Verify the connection between the display and the main system. Ensure the battery has sufficient charge. Try restarting the system by turning the bike off and on again. If the issue persists, consult the user manual or a dealer.
Flat tire with Tubeless setup
For small punctures, sealant should automatically seal the hole. If a larger tear occurs, use a tire plug or boot. If the tire is significantly damaged, remove it and repair or replace as necessary, ensuring the rim strip and valve stem are intact.
Reduced motor power
Check the battery level; lower charge may result in reduced power output. Ensure the motor's cooling vents are not blocked. If the issue persists across different battery levels, a diagnostic check by a Trek dealer may be required.
